Lesson 3: Arborstone Survival

Hi, I'm Celestial Beaver! You may remember be from such scholarly articles as: Lesson 1: Meditation of the Reaper, and Lesson 2: Resurrection Orbs.

Now I bring you the third. This thread is mainly for Primary or Secondary Elementalists. Personally, I have never found aborstone that hard...however I often see people starting up threads on this forum complaining that it is impossible...I may have found the skill to, if nothing else, keep your sanity intact.

Are you an elementalist that curses wildly at the computer screen when cathedral collapse interrupts your Dragon Stomp? Are you a monk who has shrieked wildly every time your resurrection chant gets interrupted with a split-second to go? And necromancers....have you been banging your head off a block wall every time you have to wait while your interrupted minion spell recharges?

Your answer is this: Glyph of Concentration.

Let's look at that in more detail...the Wiki describes Glyph of Concentration as "For 15 seconds, your next Spell cannot be interrupted, and ignores the effects of being Dazed."

Yes. Cannot be Interrupted. Not even by cathedral collapse. This little skill has a recharge of 2 seconds, so if it gets interrupted, you only have to wait 2 seconds to cast it again...and if you cast it before all other spells you will never get interrupted. What sounds better? waiting 60 seconds for your interrupted meteor shower to recharge or 2 seconds for the glyph?

So, to my fellow Elementalists, while your team is being pummelled by falling rocks, if you cast Glyph of Concentration you can then merrily cast your beloved Meter Shower on those Onis at the bottom of the stairs without any issues. Any Monk-Elementalists out there? Resurection Chant is now no longer an issue.

Now, for those of you who are currently thinking "but I'm not a secondary elementalist...maybe I should make a new thread and ask...". No need. Go and visit Uncle Senji in Senji's corner...he'll see you right!

So thanks for reading...not sure if many people have figured this out but judging by the number of people who complain about the mission....evidently not many. I hope this helps y'all.
